The best-rated ones will rise to the top, and after the Inauguration, we'll print them out and gather them into a binder like the ones the President receives every day from experts and advisors. If you participate, your idea could be included in the Citizen's Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama.

LETTER RE: REP. GRIJALVA FOR SECRETARY OF INTERIOR WITH SIGNATORIES TO DATEVIA FACSIMILE

As you make appointments to your Cabinet, we encourage you to considerCongressman Raúl Grijalva for Secretary of the Interior. The new Secretary ofthe Interior must bring strong, focused leadership to the position in order toameliorate the devastating effects of the Bush administration’s eight years offailed environmental policy. We strongly believe that Congressman Grijalva’sbackground and record show him to be a leader ready for this challenge.

As Arizona’s congressional representative, Congressman Grijalva has shown abroad range of passion and expertise for conservation and management of publiclands. He has highlighted the Bush administration’s attempts to undercutscience in favor of industry interests and sought ways to work with agencies andenvironmental groups to better protect public lands. For this, Grijalva hasgained respect in the environmental community for his clear and decisivepositions on sometimes complicated issues.

As a member of the Pima County Board of Supervisors, Grijalva was responsiblefor leading one of the largest counties in the United States. With large urbanareas, vast expanses of federal land, rapid population growth, a high density ofendangered species, a shared border with Mexico, and an ethnically andpolitically diverse populace, Pima County is microcosm of the issues a Secretaryof the Interior must be capable of managing. In this position, Grijalvademonstrated not only knowledge of the issues, but a natural ability to bringdiffering interests together to reach mutually acceptable agreement. He was aleader in the development, approval and funding of the precedent-setting SonoranDesert Conservation Plan. Bringing federal, state and county governmentstogether with conservationists, developers and scientists, Congressman Grijalvahelped forge one of the most far sighted endangered species protection plans inthe nation.

One of the immediate tasks for the Secretary of the Interior will be to dealwith growing national water problems. Management of drought and the ability ofthe Secretary to bring powerful, conflicting interests to the table will beessential, as evidenced by the recent crises in Georgia and Florida, thecontinuing controversy on the Klamath River, and the scientific consensus thatthe Colorado River is dangerously over-allocated. Grijalva has long beeninvolved in drought management on the San Pedro, Santa Cruz and Colorado Riversand is well-prepared to tackle these issues on a national level.

Grijalva’s record of anticipating and working to address growingenvironmental problems will also be an important asset in the Secretary of theInterior position. Expanding forest fires, the melting of the Arctic, drought inthe interior West and Southeast, loss of endangered species habitat, rangelanddegradation, and permitting of coal mines, coal plants, and other traditionaland alternative energy projects all point to global warming becoming the centralissue for DOI lands and jurisdiction. Grijalva has been a leader in pressingInterior and other federal agencies to integrate global warming issues intotheir planning and permitting.

Grijalva’s experience in key environmental Congressional caucuses hasprepared him to lead the full range of agencies within the Department of theInterior. In addition to his chairmanship and work on public lands, he hasworked closely with Native American communities ­ his district includes sevensovereign nations ­ and has served on the Subcommittee on Insular Affairs.Also, as a Representative from the arid southwest he is intimately familiar withthe responsibilities of the Bureau of Reclamation.

Further, Grijalva’s leadership in the labor and Hispanic communities hasallowed him to move beyond the long-held false dichotomies of environment vs.jobs and species vs. rural communities to promote better management and use ofpublic lands. This is especially important because Hispanics are the fastestgrowing users of public lands in the West. Their interests have been largelyignored to date, even when those interests are harmed by federal landdevelopment and extraction and access policies. The Interior will benefit fromGrijalva’s ability to bring these interests to the table.

Grijalva’s demonstrated keen knowledge of procedural issues regarding publiclands will also be an asset to the Secretary of the Interior position. In 2008,he led efforts to stop damaging mining on BLM lands and other federal landswhere the Secretary of the Interior, BLM and Minerals Management Services havepermitting authorization. This was largely due to his innate ability tounderstand and compellingly explain how poorly planned mining threatens localcommunities and water supplies.

In the last decade, central management issues on public lands ­ includinglogging, ORVs, fire management, grazing, mining and water conservation ­ havechanged from deeply rural issues to an urban interface. Grijalva’s experiencein the major urban center of Tucson has provided a hands-on understanding of thenew urban-edge dynamic and an appreciation of the resulting politicalconstituencies that are emerging.

The next Secretary of the Interior must have a nuanced understanding of thecomplex issues involved in protecting and stewarding our natural resources andlands. With the recent economic downturn, there will be calls for increasedenergy production at the risk of significant environmental destruction. Webelieve that Congressman Grijalva’s demonstrated strength in navigating thesesensitive issues and his commitment to science-based decision-making will servethe Interior well as it moves beyond the Bush administration’s policies.

As organizations dedicated to protecting imperiled animals, plants and our wildlands through sound science and enforcement of environmental laws, we regularlyinteract with federal agencies within the Department of the Interior. It is withthis perspective that we heartily endorse Raúl Grijalva to be appointed as itsSecretary.

a guide for mothers: anger and abuse, a cycle founded in abuse, excuse, fear, guilt and shame.

We are presently engaged in the process of creating mothers who are going to define the results produced by the humans they modify. The human mind is consistently evolving and the best way to ensure that yours functions with the highest capacity is to learn to understand that you will learn to adaptively engage with your surroundings, but that, more importantly, you are able to influence the way that you learn-and that, that will adaptively adapt you to your surroundings in the most beneficial way.This benefit will be to the benefit of the entire race of humans if the limiting pressures are disolved and the positive means are conceived, revealed and pursued actively, with merit, honesty, wholesome regard for others, and the ability to treat all humans as though they must expect to deserve the same as any other human.Be careful, however, because there is a lot of uncertainty in the way the world puts pressures on your brain, and believing that you can learn is of great importance, but recognizing what you learn is similar to learning what you recognize...this isn't making sense; but it does make sense.We learn and act according to what we learn and the things we learn. We regard and engage with, we are integral with, the influences which cause us to behave in certain ways, once we've experienced a certain exposure to specific influences. Influences are things that we must expect even though it is true that often we won't be expecting them.Behavoirs of others can lead to our adapting with ourselves and existing within our own expectations.If the way you are experiencing life is causing you to feel like it is expected that you will feel shamed, suffering, insult, abuse, be abusive, or find yourself in despair, hopeless, and like the emotions you should naturally process are causing you to feel isolated and alone, then the best thing to do is to contact me so I can contact your mental health provider.Emotional health and human services.Contact me to have this expanded and published widely.
